From your tweets I got to this fascinat...Hi Linda. <br />From your tweets I got to this fascinate blog. I loved the story because I also love fish. I could eat fish everyday with no problem. One of the things that I learned in my 31 years of living in Portugal, was how to eat fish, independently of how many bones a fish might have. But it still can happen that a bone might skip my attention and get stuck in the throat. If I'm having a certain type of fish that I feel bones will be a problem, there's an old Portuguese trick to get it off and down the throat. You need to grab some good corn bread. It has to be the type one from the mainland called "broa". In New Bedford, you only find it at Lydia's bakery in the north end area. This type of corm bread it has a very crusty top which is very tasty. If you get a fish bone in your throat, you grab a few little pieces of the crust and try to swallow it down without crunching it to much. Just a couple of bites and swallow it the way it is. You do this with a few pieces in a row and it will loose the bone off your throat. After it's off the throat, don't worry about it going down. I never had a problem with that neither heard of anyone having that problem. Believe me... this really works. This trick has centuries but still works today. So... this is my advice for you and anyone that reads this note and loves fish. There's a lot of health on eating fish. I could go on and on, on this, but I leave it here. One last thing; next time your husband goes fishing and grills it... get some "broa" and ENJOY your fish... you might live to one hundred plus! <br /><br />Blessings<br />Rev.
